There are lots of slasher movies better than this.February 18, 2009
Burton piles on the artistic gore for this rendition. He just forgets to add the terror.June 18, 2002
Sleepy Hollow has an aesthetic that seems based on album covers. It doesn't feel like the work of an artist in any way.July 14, 2007
A film which looks great but, in the end, is not the sum of its body parts.January 01, 2000
History will recognize the rich imagination and secret tenderness of Burton's best films.August 07, 2004
Burton, for all his skill, never ranges beyond the thrills of the obvious; he doesn't enlarge the meaning of the horror he shows us, the way a Brian De Palma might.January 01, 2000
Danny Elfman's music is haunting and jaggedly elegiac, the perfect underpinning to the movie's look.August 09, 2001
Even when the narrative stalls from too many detours and decapitations, Sleepy Hollow is gorgeous filmmaking that brims over with fun-house thrills and ravishing romance.November 04, 2010
It is a horror film, but it's a Tim Burton horror film. Make no mistake about that.May 26, 2006
[Burton's] vision of the ominous woods, the shadowy town, and its pale inhabitants give the film texture and bring it to life.June 24, 2006
For about an hour it's a fine, ghoulish carnival sideshow, and that has its charms, but there's a thin desperation about the climax.October 21, 2007
The quirks of this Sleepy Hollow prevent it from ever being truly scary, but what they do make it is a quintessentially Burton film.
